Default folder keeps switching back to Documents when doing a Save As

In the process of saving image files from a friends website using Internet Explorer, I have suddenly found that everytime I go to save a image it keeps defaulting back to my documents folder.
I can then navigate through to find my destination folder (on an external hard drive & buried several folders into that) and save the file.
However, as soon as I go to save the next image, the Save As window has reverted back to my Documents folder, then I have to click through all the numerous links to get back to where I had just saved the last image.
This has only started to happen within the past week (probably since the last Apple Security Update). Normally the Save As option would allow me to go back to the folder that I had used last.
Is there anything I can do to return this function to it's original state?
Regards

Does the folder you had been using come up under
Recent Places (dropdown under filename)?
No the folder does not show up under the Recent Places dropdown.

I have an IPod 2nd generation I bought from a pawn shop. It worked for a day but now when I try to charge it, it keeps switching back and forth from the large full screen icon of a low battery and a lighting bolt below to the blue screen with the apple symbol in the middle. I had it on charge all night but still dead.

My screensaver keeps switching back to national geographic from iPhoto

my screensaver keeps switching back to national geographic from iPhoto pictures

ASC member big.josh writes in this thread:
If I select the 'iPhoto' library icon that first comes up (in the hope of seeing all my Photos) it reverts to National Geographic when the screensaver runs.
But if I click the triangle to the left of the 'iPhoto' icon, and then select the 'Photos' icon from the drop-down list that appears, the screensaver does not revert to displaying National Geographic photos.
I haven't tested this solution, but it's more plausible than any of the others I've seen.

My persona keeps switching back!

I've had the same persona for a while now, so today I tried to change it and got a few new themes. It let me add them, but when I exited out and immediately opened FireFox again, it was back to the old one! No matter what I do, it just keeps switching back. I can go into tools and manually change it, but it doesn't stay after I reopen FireFox. It gets really annoying, please help!

McAfee Site Advisor which you appear to have installed is the most likely culprit. See this post: http://support.mozilla.com/nl/questions/753639 (Patch at the foot of the thread).

Some of your plugins are also out of date and expose your system to attack. I recommend you visit the [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ Plugins Check] page and update where necessary.

My 3gs keeps switching itself off and when i turn it on, the date is set to 1st January 1970

I Have an Iphone 3gs that keeps switching itself off and when i turn it on, the date is set to 1st January 1970 :S ... many software resets and updates won't do any good .. repaired at the manufacturer twice for the same, and works till it happens again on it's own. When it was repaired, the fix was mentioned as a reset done for the device. I have a friend who is alse havng same issue.
can someone tell what is the reset that can be done to tr and do it from my end plzzz?

Sounds like the battery is dead. Bu try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iPOd
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
If still problem your battery is very likely dead. An appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Just read that someone had the same problem on 3gs and someone had replied to press the home button and power button at same time, so I tried this and within a few seconds my phone had switched itself back on.

Saving a Pages document: when I first save a pages document it saves and I don't know where it goes or what its name is. I want to be asked every time I save a pages document what to name it and where to save it. How do I set this preference?

I'll guess that you've used a page layout document & pasting created a text box. You can add more pages & create linked text boxes, but I think you'd be better of using a word processing document. In word processing documents there is a basic text layer & additional pages will be created as needed to fit the text. Take a look at the toolbar of your document. If it says "sections" for the +page icon it's a word processing document, if it says "pages" it's a page layout document.

Word 2013 crashes when doing a save as pdf

Word 2013 will crash when doing a 'save as' pdf

It sounds like an item in HD/Library/Contextual Menu Items. Drag the contents of that folder to the desktop and test again. If that sorts it put the items back one at a time to find the culprit..
If that's not it, go to ~(yourHome)/Library/Contextual Menu Items and do the same.
Open "Console" in your Utilities folder. From the Sidebar choose: Log
Files >> CrashReporter >> "~/ Library Logs" >> Preview and paste the contents here for the latest Preview crash and maybe we can figure what's going on.

Outlook 2013 - Read emails keep switching back to Unread

I have this weird problem with 2013 Outlook client and Exchange 2010 where on random some of read emails will switch back to unread state. Its very annoying specially when you have executives sending you emails and you can't tell if this is a new one or
one that you read and took action on.
Company's desktop support folks say that there is nothing wrong with my exchange account. I told them it has to be my account/maillbox or some setting on exchange as this is happening on two different machines. One is a windows 7 pro laptop, the other one
is windows 7 pro desktop. both 64bit version of windows but 32bit version of outlook/msoffice 2013.
I only installed outlook on the desktop to see if my outlook on laptop was the culprit. but since both clients are behaving the same way.. it has to be something on the exchange side.
Appreciate any help I can get.
Thanks.

Hi Apple,
The issue could occur if the sync between the Outlook client and OWA is not completed or the Outlook data file in the Outlook client is corrupted, every time when syncing to OWA, it will change the status back to “Unread”. To narrow down the issue, please
try the steps below:
Disconnect all the clients connected to the account except OWA.
Make the message as read in OWA, then check if the status will be changed back.
If not, open Outlook, then check if the status will be synced to Outlook.
If the status changes to unread again in OWA, it could be related to Outlook.
In addition, you can also try to re-create outlook profile and check if any helps.
Best regards,

BlackBerry's inability to switch back to EDGE when the WiFi connection loses Internet connectivity

This issue has been driving me crazy for a while now, but here goes:
The city I live in has a poor reception from T-Mobile, AT&T, and other providers. I have to rely on my home wireless connection sometimes to get emails on my phone. So, instead of using "Mobile Network Preferred" option under Connection Preferences, I set it to Wi-Fi Preferred.
However, Wi-Fi preferred option comes at a great cost, with the inability to switch back to the Mobile Network if the connection to the Wi-Fi is lost.
For example, assuming if the phone is connected to a router, based on the following diagram:
Blackberry >>>>> Wireless Router >>>> Modem >>>> Internet Service Provider
If the modem loses connection with the Internet Service Provider, or if the Service Provider is down for maintenance, the BlackBerry will have no knowledage of any of these events, and will stay connected to the wireless router until the wireless reception is lost or degraded to a certain percentage.
So, rather than basing the metric on the reception, is there a program out there that can send out ping echos to a specified destination? One ping for every 5 minute interval. if 3 consecutive pings are lost, the phone should switch back to Mobile Network, assuming if the user did not set their phone to Wi-Fi only.
Thank you.

Sorry for the problems you're having with this hotspot losing connection so frequently. For you I have included specific troubleshooting steps to resolve this issue.
1. Remove the battery from your phone and leave off for a full minute
2. Re-insert battery and power phone on
3. Dial *228 and choose option 2
4. When the programming has been completed, press OK and your phone will power off, then back on.
5. Reset your password for your Hotspot
6. Update the password on your phone as well. This will help avoid any corrupt connection you may have had previously.
To reset the password for your Hotspot: Settings > Wireless and Networks > WiFi Settings > Manage Networks > long press on the network you want to modify > Enter new password
Alternately, you can long press on the network you want to modify and select "Forget this network", then back out and re-join it at which point it'll prompt you for a password.
Hope this helps!
Thanks,

Ipad keeps going back to homescreen when im using an app

Whenever im playing with my games, it keep going back to homescreen and I don't know what to, please help me fix it,

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
What model iPad and what iOS is it running? You may need to update the iOS.
Is this app the only one that does this? If so, it's probably a problem with the app software. Contact the app developer.
 Cheers, Tom

When saving my Adobe CS6 InDesign document, why does it save as an Adobe Illustrator document?

When I click "Save As" it looks as if it will save it as an indd document, but in fact it saves as an AI document. However, when I double click the icon, it tries to open in Illustrator, but then I get an error message stating it cannot open the document.

It means that your file associations in Windows are messed up - all .indd files are assigned to open up in Illustrator. Shutdown InDesign, open up any file that you know is an InDesign file, right-click and select Properties, and it'll say "Opens With: Illustrator." Click on the CHange button, then choose InDesign from the window, and make sure that the "Always Open With" box at the bottom is checked.
That's how it's supposed to work, anyways, When file associations are messed up in Windows sometimes it takes a lot more work to fix it. But give that a shot first.

RaiseError when doing a saveAs

Everything seemed to work fine in XP with Adobe 9 but now with Windows 7 things are breaking.
The button script is:
var filePath = "/C/";
var newFileName = "yo.pdf";
app.alert("hi");
myTrustFunct(this,filePath+newFileName);
and the script in C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\Javascripts is:
// folder level JavaScript to allow access to the identity object properties
trustedIdentity = app.trustedFunction( function (sProperty)
var iProperty = "";
app.beginPriv();
iProperty = identity[sProperty];
app.endPriv();
return iProperty;
// folder level JavaScript to allow Save As population of file name
mySaveAs = app.trustPropagatorFunction(function(myForm, path)
     app.beginPriv();
     //var myForm = event.target;
path="/"+path;
       var rtn = myForm.saveAs(path);
     app.endPriv();
return rtn;
myTrustFunct = app.trustedFunction(function(myForm, path)
     app.beginPriv();
     var vPath = path;
     console.println("vPath: " + vPath);
     var retn = mySaveAs(this, vPath);
     app.endPriv();
       return retn;
console.println("SaveAsName has run 0:25");
Getting:
SaveAsName has run 0:25
vPath: /C/yo.pdf
RaiseError: The file may be read-only, or another user may have it open. Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder.
Doc.saveAs:21:Field Button1:Mouse Up
===> The file may be read-only, or another user may have it open. Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder.
I get the same results if I save to C: or a network drive. Any suggestions? Thanks so much!!

Thanks so much!! So after reading through the info I'm still stuck. The quick bars indicated that
For security reasons, this property or method may be available only during certain events. These events include batch processing, application start, or execution within the console. (See the event object for details of the Acrobat events.)
to execute a security-restricted method through a menu event, one of the following must be true:
The JavaScript user preferences item Enable Menu Items JavaScript Execution Privileges is checked.
The method is executed through a trusted function. For details and examples, see the app.trustedFunctionmethod.
See Privileged versus non-privileged context for more information.
I checked the JavaScript user prefs and everything looks OK and I'm going through a trusted function.
The quick bar also indicates that it needs the document save right. I'm not sure exactly what that means... when I manually save as with the doc though it's fine.

Photoshop CC crashes when doing a Save As...

Windows 7 PC. Photoshop CC crashes when trying to save a psd file as a jpg file using Save As...

Interesting development: If I load into PS CC an image from LR 5 (Ctrl+E), work with it and try to save it as a jpg file, PS CC crashes. This will happen over and over again. HOWEVER, if I open an image into PS CC via LR 5, work with it, close it as a psd file, then open the image directly from PS CC (File>Open), and then try to save it as a jpg file, everything works fine. From that point on I can save images as jpg files no matter how they got into PS CC (i.e., it works fine until I close down PS CC completely and re-open it later -- in which case I have to do this process all over again). This situation never came up in PS CS6, so it must have something to do with the LR 5/PS CC communication.

ITunes music folder keeps reverting back to default

If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it: I just moved my music library to a new hard drive, following the Apple instructions on "moving the iTunes music folder" (i.e. changing the iTunes music folder location on the advanced tab in preferences, setting it up to copy files, and then consolidating the library). The move worked, but for some reason, whenever I exit iTunes and come back in, the iTunes music folder reverts back to the default (C:\Documents and Settings\default\My Documents\My Music). It doesn't announce it or anything, but when I go to add new music, it sends it there instead of the new drive. What am I missing on the transfer?

I have noticed that you have posted on a thread that is 2 months old. This is really a bad idea as your issue can be easily overlooked. It's always much better to "start your own topic" by click on this link on the forum main page.
